By tbe following, wbtch we oipy from the

Judging from a New Yoik dispatch it
would seem tbe railroad eoapaoier bad
ttbdrawn from tbe geat oil combination.
Uniform rates been have established for tbe
transportation of oil, and no advantages,
either to reduced rates drawbacks, or In auy
other way, are to be given to any shipper
or combination of shippers. Tbat oeint
having been reached, and tbe monopoly of
the oil trade effectually prevented. It is to
be hoped soma way will soon be found for a
settlement af tbe existing difficulties and
tbe termination of a quarrel tbat has em
barrassed an Important branch of trade,
caused already tbe loss of hundreds o'
thousands of dollsrs, thrown thousands of
persons out of employment lathe winter,
and caused suffering and distress in hun
dreds of families. Tbe stoppage of tbe
refineries here and at other points has caus
ed serious loss among the produceis, but
tbe heaviest losses have fallen on the re
fining points themselves, where tbe branch
es of industry connected with tbe oil busi
ness were suddenly paralyzed, and bun
dreds of families dependent on daily wages
for Ibeir daily bread fouad themselves, with
out warning, lace to face with want. We
have beard pitiable talcs cf distress in this
city, caused by tbe sudden and almost sim
ultaneous stoppage of tbe reflueries, and tbe
worgt, we fear, is yet to some, as on tbe
first of April some refineries yet running will
extinguish their fires
If there is any way In which this quarrel
cau be adjusted to tbe satisfaction of al
parties, and some employment found for tbe
men thrown on their resources, and who
are now without any, wa hope it will be
adopted without delay. Every 'day adds to
the difficulty ot settlement and increases
the distress tbat cannot much longer be
suffered to exist without danger.

At tbe unfortunate Red River military

bis body by a broad-sword In tba band of a
mounted enemy. Tbe ".word entered just in
front of tbe short ribs of lbs right side and
came out opposite, close to tbe spine; and
what was most remarkable, ba declared he
did not feel its entrance, hut when tbe fel
low drew It out it gave blm some pain. He
was considered mortally wounded. But
neither bleeding nordying, as the surgsons
expected, be wa transported to a bo.plta
in New Orleans, where in a few months be
wss perfectly well. A question came up
io tbe circle of surgeons bow ba escaped so
miraculously. Scientifically considered, the
bowels must bsw been cut through io sev
eral places, and arterial twigs lacerated by
dozens. The latest Ibt'ory was this, viz.,
tbat neither intestine nor blood-vessels
were wounded. For a wonder, tbe sharp
blade .slid through betwato tbe tubular
coils without injuring anything hut Integu.

It Is source of gratification tbat the oil
men work so harmoniously and determined
ly together, against their common enemy
the Southern Improvement Company.
When the monopolists attacked tho coal, or
lumber, or any other Interest, tbe men en
gaged en such business never were all a to
combine, but were compelled to snccumb to,
wbstever might be required by the soulles
corporations. Not so with the oil men.
Wlto an energy and spirit unprecedented
Ibey rose up In masse, and grappled with
th- hydrabeaded monster, and already bavs
dealt their enemy powerful blows, and are
determined to keep up tbe battle till the
life is out of the corrupt corporation tbat at

Tbe South Side Improvement Company,

in tbe oil regions. Its objects are staled to

tirely sreveota the lucres uf air In oil wells, while
tbe tabing Is being drawn. It is a well known tact
to oil operators, that upou wells where Gas Pumps
are useil It is aecmai-j to preserve as nearly a per
fect vacuum as possible, and that no air should h
lot into tbe well, at any time, when it can possibly
be avoided; consequently, whenever the tubing is
drawn tV m a wll it is tbe cause or great injury to
it, as tlie siutung box, being then necessarily open
ed, tbe air immediately ruabes back between tbe
tubing and caatug, Into the well going iuto li e oil
rock and gas veins, and eoisequeotly causin. the
oil and gas to rush back te a great distance, bo
much so, that It almoat always takes several days
a.ter pumping Is resumed fur a wel I to be brought
back to Its fwrmer condition, and oftentimes It takea
several weeks; and quite frequently wells have been
almost completely ruined by th air being thus let
In while drawing tubing.
